Simple. but Dishonest.

One of the simplest things ever heard
of, and which was still as neat as it was
simple, was the breach of trust of Phil
adelphia messenger. He received pack
age of $1O0, 900 and hid it safely away.
He then went back to the bank which
had employed him and told the officers
that he was tired of being poor, and that
he had determined to use the money they
had given him to carry to certain other
bank. At first it was thought he was
drunk, then crazy, then joking. But he
simply advised the officers to have him
arrested, as he intended to keep and use
the money in question. The principal
he promised eventually to return.
The officers tried to persuade him, but
without avail. He was finally arrested,
but his only crime was breach of trust.
His declared intention of eventually re-
turning the money made it almost i'm
possible to bring his crime under the
head of any indictable offence. He was
finally tried for breach of trust and came
off with two years in the penitentiary.
This occurred about fifteen years ago.
The perpetrator still lives in Philadelphia
and is in comfortable circumstances,
and talks freely about his little escapade.
He still says he intends to return tho
money to the bank. He had his lawyer
draw up a will in which he bequeathed
the sum of 100000 to the bank, being
the sum borrowed on such date, less
So, 400, being the amount charged for two
years of enforced idlcness at 500 q
month. -Memuhis Avalanche.

A Paradise for Tramps.

The Karg gas-well was discovered in
Findlay, Ohio, about fifty miles south of
Toledo, on January 20, 1885. The gas
was conducted forty-eight feet above tho
ground, through a six-inch iron pipe,
and when lighted the fame rose from
twenty to thirty feet above the pipe. 1t
is difficult to exaggerate the magnificent
and impressive effect of this burning well
at night. The noise of the escaping gas
is like the rour of Niagara. The whole
town is brightly illuminated by the light
of the fame.
When 1 made my visit to the we'll, one
evening in February, 1885, snow covered
the ground to the depth of three or four
inches; but for distance of two hundred
yards in every direction the heat of the
flame had melted the snow from the
ground, and the grass and weeds had
grown two or three inches in height. The
crickets also seemed to have mistaken tho
season of the year, for they were cnllyen-
ing the night with their cheerful song.
The neighborhood of the we'll was also
paradise for tramps. I noticed one who
lay soundly sleeping with his head in a
barrel, and the rest of his body project
ing outward to receive the genial warmth
from the fame high up in the air above.
Cold as it was all around, he slept in per-
feet comfort upon the turf and in the open
air. There was no danger of his suffer
within that charmed circle.-St. Nicholas.

Devices of religious character, formed

Devices of a religious character, formed
with skulls or with arm and leg bones,
ornament in singular fashion the sides Of
the gallery, but no perfect skeleton is to
be seen. On q bench are shown few
broken bones which had reknit. Many
recesses are shaped into miniature chapels,
with altars and crosses, all of skulls or
bones. Small white marble slabs with
inscriptions from holy writ or profane
authors, mostly in French, though several
of the latter are in Latin, relieve at fire.
quent intervals, the brown monotony OF
the walls.
Marble crosses also indicate the exact
spot where the contents of each of the
cemeteries begin and end and arc marked
with the dates at which interments had
commenced and finished in them, while
in few instances an unpretending tablet
is inscribed to the memory of the victims
of some popular emeute.
Rather more than half an hour is spent
in passing quickly through this labyrinth.
Its passes are so winding and complicated
that it would be impossible to form just
idea of the extent of ground which it oc-
cupics; but on again emerging into sun
light we found ourselves about half q
mile from the old octroi house, from the
yard of which we had descended. The
walks throughout were all dry and well
graveled, and there was little, if any, dis
agreeable odor.-New York Herald.

Steel Pen and Quill.

The steel pen is an exceedingly modern
invention. Any person past middle age
can remember when its use became gen.
eral in America. Before that time the
Quill pen was universal, and to make OF
sharpen it for his pupils was one of the
chief tasks of the schoolmaster. Many
persons still employ this archaic instru-
ment, driving to madness all who are
within hearing of its more narrowing
sound. The utter inability of the present
generation to listen to the scratching OF
the quill pen is one of the most startling
evidences of the increase of nervous dis
orders among us. The pretended prefer
ence for it is generally an affectation. ,
The name Of the person who first used
q Quill pen has not been preserved, and
the loss has not been seriously felt. 1t
was probably some monk or "learned
clerk" of the middle ages who found that
it could usefully supplement the stylus
with which he was Illuminating manu-
script. The quill might have easily been
suggested by the bodkin made of the
bone of bird or other animal trans
mittcd from the Romans to the medieval
monks, or by the sharpened reed, also
used by the Romans and still IN use
among the Arabs. The Chinese and
Japanese use sort of brush in writing,
and when we'll instructed write rapidly
and with artistic skill.-San Francisco
Chronicle.

A Check for Over $14,00O,00O.

Tic biggest check ever drawn in the
United States was that drawn by John
D. Taylor, now dead, but then Treasurer
of the Pennsylvania Railroad, to Lee,
Higginson s. Co., of Boston, in payment
for the Boston stock in the Philadelphia,
Wilmington and Baltimore road. About
ten millions of it was owned in Boston.
Nathaniel Taylor was the largest stock
holder, and he had agreed to deliver to
Jay Gould enough to give him a con-
trolling interest and enable him to bring
the road into harmony with the Jersey
Central, and then dispose of the two as
thought best. But Mr.. Taylor was in his
old age, and he was unable to fulfill the
contract. Enough got out to put the
Pennsylvania people on their guard, and
their representatives met the Boston
bankers in this city, and never adjourned
until the papers were drawn up by which
they agreed to deliver a majority of the
stock in the road at 14O on the dollar,
which was about 10 per cent. more than
they had ever been able to sell it at, all
the individual stockholders being allowed
to come and sell their stock at that fig
ure. They brought it to the Boston
bankers, and on the 1st day of July the
Boston party received Mr.. Taylors check
on the National Bank of Commerce OF
this city for $14, 256, ,44O. This is be-
lieved to be. the largest check ever drawn
in this country. Nail and Erpress.

Bird Surgery.

DR.. Walter F. Morgan, of Leaven:
worth, Kansas, sends to the Medical
Record this curious account of what may
be called avarian surgery, related to him
by the late Joseph O'Brien, of Cleveland,
Ohio: "On going into his barn MIR:
O'Brien discovered swallows nest, and
being a natural observer and lover of ami
mails, he climbed to the nest, and found
in it two young swallows, one being
smaller and less vigorous than the other,
and having slighter covering OF feath-
ers. Upon taking the young bird IN his
hand he was astonished to find one of its
legs very thoroughly bandaged with
horse-hairs. Having carefully removed
the hairs one by one he was still more as
tonished to find that the nestling's leg
was broken. Mr.. O'Brien carefully re-
placed the bird in its nest and resolved
to await further developments. Upon
visiting the patient the next day, the
leg was again bandaged as before. The
bird surgeon was not again interfered
with, and the case being kept under OBJ
servation, in about two weeks it was
found that the hairs were being cautious
ly removed, only few each day; and
finally, when all were taken off, the
callus was distinctly felt, and the union
of the bone evidently perfect, as the
bird was able to fly off with its mates.
Such instances may seem incredible to
those not yet fully prepared to accept the
axiom of the scientists, viz: that the in
telligence of animals differs from that
of man only in degree, and not in
kind }"

Something New in Clocks.

A self-winding clock is one of the nov
elites in this market. One would natur-
ally think that self-winding clock would
come pretty near to q solution of the
problem of perpetual motion, but it
doesn't. The self-winding clock may be
locked up and left untouched for more
than a year, and it will run right along
without appreciable variation, and, it's
said, keep better time than a common
clock that is often regulated" In the
self-winder the winding is performed
every hour by an electric battery con-
cealed within the case, and it is reasona-
bly, claimed that this frequent action
averts ovcrwinding and running down,
evils which are largely responsible for the
variations of ordinary timepieces. Self
winding clocks cost all the way from
$27.5O to $3.50. The inventor OF this
clock says he can connect by wire all
the clocks in the stations on a railway
between New York and Chicago, or be-
tween any other cities, so that simple
touch on an electrical instrument in one
city will set all of the clocks to the same
time, without seconds difference being
left between any two of them. If this
fertile inventor will now devise some
means of keeping the watches carried by
engineers and conductors of freight trains
always within two or three seconds OF
true time, he will confer still further
blessing upon his railway-collision abb
hOrring fellow men.

Scene in the Persian Palace.

The Zil-es-Sultan is the favorite son OF
the Shah of Persia. He is thirty-fvc,
short, and of athletic build, is fine shot,
and is q leader of Persian fashions. The
London St. James's Gazctte thus describes
a domestic scene: "The room is purpose
" darkened. There sits the Prince, sup
ported by cushions, on a mattress. he
IS evidently out of sorts; his hakimbashi
is feeling his pulse. The Governor Of

bcr, an important parsonage, is carefully
and scientifically shampooins the back OF
his neck. Mira Rcza, the Princes con-
tidential valet, man who has been Gov
crnor of Fussa under his Royal Highncss,
is reading poetry. Evidently the Prince
is in pain. Rub, rub, he cries. Ah!
with sigh of relief, that is good-that
is very goodp The chief barber, whose
clever shampooing has earned this praise,
smiles with pleasure. Mira Rcza, Mira

confidential valet stops his monotonous
poetry. Let our chief barber have our

lighted barber, who is to receive gift
